"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Good day to you.
 
This email maybe a surprise to you because you did not give me the permission to send  this to you and  I am very sorry if this email batch into your privacy.
 
I am glad that I found you as I was sending this message because it is very important.
 
My name is  Ivan Sisson from United State of America, I work in a Pharmaceutical company and I have a business proposal which will benefit the both of us and its risk-free.
 
I am the assistant purchasing manager of my company. I occasionally come to India to purchase the company's production materials which is called the adasama soda seed.
 
I am about to be transferred to another branch and the company will be sending the new assistant purchasing manager to India to buy the materials this time around. I am afraid because I was buying the product at $1200 for each 200g pack from the local dealer whiles collecting $1500 for each 200g from my company.
 
My dear, I want to present you as the local dealer to my company so as to gain the contract supply at $1500 on each 200g as our company will be needing 500 packs this time around. My company would be sending the new assistant purchase manager to you for testing confirmation of the products.
But with the little time i have left at my branch, I would like to use this opportunity to get to know you very well because if i can't trust your capacity then i can't give you more details on how you are to get this contract.
 
My company manufactures quality medicine for Overweight, Erection of week penis, Low spam count, and reduce high Sugar in the body system against Diabetes.
 
I need your full attention so that  we can discuss about the percentage as you shall be selling to my company's new assistant purchasing manager at a higher price of  $1500. Mind you when I present you to the company as the local dealer in India, my company shall send our representative, the new assistant purchasing manager  to come and confirm the raw product which is called the adasama soda seed  before they place an order for a larger quantity and that's where we are going to make profit per kilogram.
 
Get back to me with your details such as your name in full and telephone number, together with your Facebook contact. If you have any questions to ask me  for more clarification before I present you as the local dealer to the company, Kindly contact me via Email on: i.sisson365@gmail.com
 
I will be waiting to hear from you then i can give out more details.
 
Thanks
Ivan Sisson
